Is it a good idea to study in China?
If it is directly related to the future profession, of course, it is worth it. Although I would prefer the option of learning a profession in your country, and then (or in parallel) add the Chinese language, go to China to Chinese language courses for six months to a year.
Let's imagine that there is a choice: to study as a programmer, filmmaker, lawyer in a small town university, or to do it in a top university in China. It is clear that in this case, it is better to choose China - and you will learn the language, and the knowledge you get is not worse than in your small university. A bonus is an experience of living in another country, broadening your horizons, and looking at the world and your homeland with different eyes.
If the choice is between a ranked and well-known university in your country and an average Chinese university, choose the option where you will get more professional skills and abilities, connections, and useful contacts, and as soon as possible begin to apply knowledge in practice. You can learn Chinese if you need to, and whether or not you will need to - you'll see later.
If you are planning to become a major in Chinese, e.g. as a translator, journalist, diplomat, etc., it is better to choose a combo-option: Bachelor's degree in one country, Master's degree in another. You can kill two birds with one stone - learn Chinese and understand the specifics of work.
